This week...

Agincourt - 1415 - Just cos  :)
Agnadello - 1509 - For me this sums up Italian command issues for the period
Fleurus - 1690 - just a great battle plan

Next week...?

Cheers

Cannae - 216 BCE - Classic "Know thine enemy" and underdog victory
Trafalgar - 1805 - Has it all! (and my soft spot for sea battles)
Vienna - 1683 - colourful armies, huge personalities and the future of "Western civilisation" in the balance; "Then the Winged Hussars arrived..."
